Giordano's sounds good to me. This is for Saturday night, right?

Looks like they have plenty of locations (http://www.giordanos.com/locations.php) in Chicagoland; maybe one of the locals can suggest one that'll be reasonably convenient for everybody.

CadillacGurl

01-12-08, 11:56 PM

Here's my issue: DePaul's Homecoming is saturday night. They still haven't posted where it's gonna be and what time. Jason and I should be able to come out for dinner it's just depending on homecoming.

01-15-08, 11:46 PM

Chicago will be a madhouse on Friday night......I would suggest maybe a suburb.....
-Wont be as crowded
-Not going to get in trouble for sitting in a parking lot(this is a major city with parking problems....sitting for a car meet is not gonna happen ;) )
-No rush
-No tickets
-Less likely to get carjacked :gungrin:
-They dont call it the Windy City for nothing.....that shits gonna be COLD coming off the lake :D

Can i get a ride in a V if we go to a suburb?

CadillacGurl

01-16-08, 10:20 AM

There's Giordano's in the suburbs, I recommend this one. We can line up all the cars afterwards at the OakBrook Terrace Mall which is practically a couple places down from this giordano's.
Gary, is this the right address for the Giordano's that you, Jason and I went to:
OAK BROOK TERRACE
(630) 530-7799
17 W 280 WEST 22ND ST.

It's right off the expressway and I can lead people there (have a caddy caravan :p) It's not too far away for the people that live in Downers.

gary88

01-16-08, 12:56 PM

Yep that's the one. Basically right across the street from the Oak Brook Mall.

CadillacGurl

01-16-08, 01:22 PM

Ok *whew* I didn't want to lead people to the wrong one. If everybody could decide on a time when to meet up there for dinner I'll call and see if we can get a reservation. 7PM ok??

Crown Vic Owner

01-16-08, 03:16 PM

That will work.

Depending on how many people, we may want to call and tell them whats going on.

Crown Vic Owner

01-22-08, 12:34 AM

Depending on who is coming, we need to go for a mini cruise if ya get what im saying.

We should go ahead and just go down 22nd, all of us in our caddys and maybe a crown vic :/

So, are we also doing a minimeet in the parkinglot and do "stuff" after?

IDK, i MAY bring the SLS/STS hybid, who knows.

I~LUV~Caddys8792

01-22-08, 01:40 AM

Cool idea dude. We had a nice cruise in Des Moines and it was a ton of fun!

Crown Vic Owner

01-22-08, 02:00 AM

Yeah, i WISH i could use someone elses car if i cant get the SLS outta my moms hands (shes in love with the thing), and my sunroof does not work, so that means no GOOD video for me.

I was thinking of making a video of our meet / cruise at the same time, but who knows.

Anyone else coming have a small camera they can mount INSIDE there car, like a digicam with video mode (a decent one)?

Assuming this is ok with other members.

GizmoQ

01-22-08, 03:22 AM

I could never turn down a ride in an MB.

Actually Rt 83 is pretty great for cruising assuming there's not much traffic. It's 3 lanes for quite awhile.

I'll be the official event photographer. You'll all have awesome pics.

If you remind me in advance, I'll bring my tripod and bungee cords. That's what I used to anchor the video camera around the seat belt anchors or console in my cars when I shot those videos going over the roller coaster road last spring.

Yeah, bring those.

Yeah, do that. Maybe you guys can get like a sort of a driving group shot. Like start off at the back of the line, and pass all of us (which won't be hard with Jason's STS) and videotape all the cars, in motorcade, as you pass us all.

Crown Vic Owner

01-22-08, 04:27 PM

If Jesda doesn't get a new car before the meet :bigroll: , I wanna race his Navigator, provided we can find a road clear of traffic, cops and ice. Someone should ride shotgun in both of our cars for a killer video.

I would join in that and record, but i DONT want to go ahead and slow you down, im too dang fat.

I will have 3 cameras with, so lets plan what we are doing now. I will have 1 DV cam and 2 digis.

I will either be bringing the crown vic or SLS, chances are crown vic.

I was thinking we go out to the boonies, have some fun, and we all part at a part of the parking lot where we can have all the caddies and noone else around.

I hate to ask for this, but if anyone else is going to be shooting, if we could share our video (ill setup a server for doing this with), that would work out REALLY well.

I figure we need to nab this and make a mini meet video as lets put it this way, there are not that many caddy meets.

Agreed, smoked all kinds when I was in Europe in '99 although nothing compares to a fresh Monte Cristo (you have to be careful to check if its Cuban or Dominican), a lot of the top tier Dominicans are great smokes.
